Public breast feeding

[Yurt]

it is as natural as eating food, yet, this country seems to have a phobia about breastfeeding in public.

should it be done? should it be done and covered with a blanket?

To me it is natural, it should be allowed in public, there is nothing wrong with it.

 

[dilloduck]

Don't do it outside embassies or they will think you are protesting.

tits are fun.....like bags

 

[whitehall]

Only babies.

Does it have to involve children?

She's not a member of the club and is making demands? As a guest she follows the rules or leaves. There is no special permission to disturb the people who paid for their membership.

Women who have a desire to breastfeed in public are frustrated strippers. Be honest get paid for flashing your tits.

I see nothing wrong with it. But if it is disturbing people in an establishment, she should find somewhere to feed her baby out of view. That's it. I voted yes.

 

[Mr. H.]

Well if it's a club then it's not exactly public.

 

[Wolfsister77]

Yes, there is nothing wrong with breastfeeding in public. I do think, out of courtesy for others that you use a wrap of some kind, and if it is disturbing the guests, you find some place more secluded if possible. But it most definitely should be allowed.

Sorry to quibble, but breast feeding in a private Country Club is not the same as breast feeding in public.

The Club has the right to set its standards of behavior to support a comfortable environment for its members.

Breastfeeding in public is going to be watched. Women need to accept it or don't do it.

Why do you think they do it? They want to be watched.

Oh, puh-leeze. A mother with a crying baby who is carting around a bunch of baby care equipment and accessories just wants to get the feeding job done. There may be an exhibitionist fringe element, but the majority are just moms trying to cope.

fair enough, however, the property owner is considered bound by most 'public' law if they hold themselves out to the public. don't forget also the commerce clause the us congress used to force private restaurants to serve black citizens.

What is the problem with that? Obviously, given the choice every woman would prefer to do it in private, but I do not see any problem with a mother feeding the baby in public when it is necessary.

well-mannered public usually tries to look in other direction.
Not that well-mannered stares.
Stupid one gets "offended"

Only babies.

i would hope that is obvious perv

there's staring and there's "looking at" . A breast feeding woman in the middle of a room is gonna get looked at.
